Restoration Sales & Project Manager / Estimator Restoration company is looking for a confident, experienced, and highly customer-focused Restoration Sales & Project Manager / Estimator to manage residential restoration projects from the initial onsite estimate through project completion and final payment. Restoration experience is preferred, but proven sales ability, confidence with homeowners, and the ability to close jobs are our highest priorities. This is primarily a sales, customer relationship, and project management position within the restoration industry. We provide incoming leads and scheduled appointments. Your responsibility is to meet with homeowners, inspect the affected areas, understand their concerns, build trust, determine the appropriate scope of work, present pricing, close the project, and manage the customer and field crew through completion.

If you are technically strong but uncomfortable speaking with customers, presenting pricing, building relationships, handling objections, or closing jobs, this position will probably not be a good fit. If you are excellent with people, know how to build trust, and know how to turn qualified appointments into booked projects, we want to talk to you.
